2025 Dutch GP: FP2 session (Model-corrected long run analysis)

Use the Get in touch link if you’re interested in supporting this project.

This is an experimental analysis.

To provide a clearer picture of performance, anomalous laps (due to traffic, driver errors, etc.) have been corrected using predictions from a statistical model which learns each driver’s underlying pace and trends to generate plausible lap times.

Model-corrected race simulation pace

Model-corrected race simulation pace: All drivers

Example of model predictions

This chart shows how the model predicts lap times to replace the ones flagged as anomalies. You can see how the predictions follow a smooth curve that matches the overall trend of the remaining laps.

The predictions are based on complex linear algebra, so they’re not “guesswork” as some of you may believe. You have a better analysis? Cool, share it on your website.
